How do I use JSL to completely remove files from my hard drive?

 

Hi!
For example, delete path c:\1.txt completely, instead of putting it in the recycle bin.
With JSL.
Thanks!

          You can use the Delete File function. If you look at the scripting index description of the function, the function has a second optional argument. 

FilePath = "C:\Test.xlsx";

Delete File(FilePath,0);
